This whole coronavirus things really sucks, but I must admit that I am enjoying seeing so many forms of creativity on display. From the fun virtual event that my Area’s Adult Riders Program is putting on, to the virtual Kentucky Derby that will be televised later today featuring a computer simulated race of previous Triple Crown winners, to the crazy competitions that barns are having on their own to keep themselves entertained and actively learning. Costumes at said competitions may or may not be required.
